This is the test of a person why he likes biking, and more particularly mountain biking.

When I got my first bike Mountain four years ago, it was to ride through the mountains at all. I just liked the idea of fat tires and being able to get on and off curbs or impedimenta road with impunity. So of course I have not had a top of the line bike, but that will cost around $ 300 – and includes a seat gel padding, a kicking position, and a cycling team.

And frankly, I love that bike. For all I'm thinking of getting a new one …

I have lived in a bicycle-friendly city for most of my life – more than 20 years. It is a major city – more than 100,000 people, but was designed with a lot Bike trail around and through the many parks and lakes. Even the streets are mostly wide, with shoulders where cyclists can ride. This is because it is an important city in the Midwest, where there was enough room to build and out, unlike the New England states, where space was a luxury.

Anyway, bike everywhere I can, to the library, my grocery store (if I only buy a few things. I use a handlebar basket detachable) to work and for pleasure riding in general – during the spring, summer and autumn, however,

Every spring, it takes me a couple of weeks major cycling to get fit (I'm a woman warm weather, which cluster in the interior in winter, fat storage, and then as soon Spring specimens of me out on the bike until next winter.)

The first year I had the bike, I used exclusively for road cycling, and off-trail riding. As I said, I like the bike – which is much more comfortable to a road bike saddles with their typical small drop and handlebars. And I liked the freedom it gave me – if I saw something out of a grassy field somewhere that could turn the path or road without hesitation to investigate and go without beat – something you can not make road bikes with narrow wheels.

I was able to go as fast as a road bike? Well … not really, but I certainly never in a hurry to get anywhere.

When the second spring came, I decided it was time to really tasted a bit of mountain biking. I was not going to find any real mountains – but there were plenty of hills around the city that had mountain bike trails them. I made a few weeks of "get fit" and then went to the nearest official, "" path.

And let me tell you – Mountainbike is a gas. I do not like the climbing of it – I'm not a masochist, but once you reach the top and head down, the wind against your face and the sheer concentration required to negotiate all the obstacles is inspiring.

So if you live anywhere near a mountain bike track, go see it out. You'll be happy I did.
